NO PEARL WITHOUT GRIT: The psychology of suffering and awakening

Buddhism and therapy are both centrally concerned with the problem of suffering and the challenges involved in arriving at a liberation of mind and an awakening to new possibilities. In addressing this theme we can share many perspectives, methods and theories that seek to bring together the insights of Buddhism with the anxieties, tragedies and opportunities of modern life. Following upon the first two successful conferences, this meeting will be a time for learning, sharing, reflection and building connections.
 
The last conference included many moving moments as well as deeply informative presentations. The balance between serious engagement and informal discussion in this style of meeting provides a rich compost for new growth, connection and stimulation. 
Don't miss it.

1. We have estimates from one of our two short-listed venues. It is an excellent location which I think people will enjoy very much.

2. Conference cost is looking to be something in the order of 650 euro for the full package - full conference with all meals and en suite accommodation, with other rates for non-resident etc.

3. Nati has agreed to be enrolment secretary. Hurrah.

4. We are getting a good deal of interest in the conference already. Numbers will be limited. We are thinking of a maximum of 100 attenders altogether with approx half  of those residential.

5. We have prospective main presenters from many parts of the world - but not yet from Netherlands !!

6. The introductory film on Facebook is now at 800 views and 24 shares. https://www.facebook.com/davidbrazierauthor
